I had created a branch off my main project(the trunk I guess) in tfs for dev purposes. I did my work there for a time and then merged everything back into the trunk. For all intensive purposes my branch is now dead. I don't see having to use it anymore
. In order to keep things organized I really would now like to just delete this branch so as to not have other developers be confused when they go into TFS. (Trying to keep needless code or projects to a minimum if possible)
However, this now leads to the question of having the history. I could see a practical need for keeping the history on the dead branch just in case we would want to see how something happened or when something changed. So I guess I have a few questions 1)Is there a way to see the history of a deleted branch ? (I know there is a way to see changesets from a merge. I've done this before) Or more generally I guess, 2)How should developers and TFS admins go about managing dead branches in tfs?
Any advice or direction would be most appreciated.
